JiggersMemberLets take a poll.. yaaay or nay..I’m sure there’s people here who thinks I”m a bigot.

KatherineLParticipantWill changing your screen name change whether you’re a bigot or not?

chrismaParticipantWell, here’s what ye olde wikipedia says:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jigger
What is the origin of your screen name, Jiggers?
July 7, 2011 at 12:19 am #728690
velo_nutParticipantI just thought you were a bartender.
July 7, 2011 at 1:20 am #728691
DPMemberI vote to keep “Jiggers.” Somehow, it seems to fit your personality.
July 7, 2011 at 1:25 am #728692
anonymeParticipantA friend of mine had a Scotch terrier named Jiggers. He was a stodgy, curmudgeonly,sometimes endearing little fellow. Didn’t strike me as a bigot.

Genesee HillParticipantJiggers:
I always enjoy your posts.
Some of us get carried away at times. I know that I do more than most. For this, I apologize.
Please don’t change your screen name.
That would be akin to Mayor McSchwinn changing his name to Mayor McGinn.
It does not fit.
Truly, I enjoy your comments. You are classy, IMHO.

shed22Participantare you?

Genesee HillParticipantshed22:
Of course not. IMHO I am as flawed as some people, more flawed than most. Just the fact that I would answer your question demonstrates I am totally lacking in class. I think I will join Todd in Westwood and sign out permanently. Auf Wiedersehen.

wsguyMemberKeep it.
Growing up my cousins had a great springer spaniel named “Jigs” short for Jigger…
July 7, 2011 at 4:49 am #728697
Genesee HillParticipantOr was it Westseattledood? Can’t say for sure. My memory is also flawed.

redblackParticipantredblack slaps Genesee Hill with a large, wet trout.
that was for the cheap shot at the mayor.
but to the topic, what’s this “jiggers” that everyone is on about?
July 7, 2011 at 4:50 am #728699
JiggersMemberGenesee…don’t sign out. I’ll be blogging here by myself if you go off into the wind.

mpentoParticipantThis forum is like the movie 12 angry men and besides changing your name won’t make you any less of a bigot.
July 7, 2011 at 5:01 am #728701
QueMemberI just always assumed that it was a bartending reference… I think that your name is fine.
July 7, 2011 at 5:03 am #728702
redblackParticipantJuly 7, 2011 at 5:04 am #728703
JiggersMemberThat’s what it was. I used to bartend way back when in the islands.
July 7, 2011 at 5:09 am #728704
shed22ParticipantGenesee Hill. . . my post was intended for the OP.
July 7, 2011 at 5:09 am #728705
chrismaParticipantGenesee Hill: I think shed22 might have been asking Jiggers if he’s a bigot, as opposed to whether you are classy or not.
My memory was that it was Todd in Westwood who said he was quitting the forums after he (?) got jumped on about not wanting the MMJ lounge in his neighborhood.
July 7, 2011 at 5:11 am #728706
shed22Participantthanks chrisma.
July 7, 2011 at 5:12 am #728707
chrismaParticipantIt would be nice to have threaded comments here. Don’t know if BB Press supports that though.
July 7, 2011 at 5:24 am #728708
JoBParticipantit will support links to content…
but don’t you think threaded comments would only make some posts more confusing?
it would certainly make them more work
for the reader.. i mean ;->
July 7, 2011 at 5:52 am #728709
chrismaParticipant@JoB: maybe. It can get a little tedious to read through them when they get long. What’s your take on what shed22 was asking? Or maybe shed22 will come back and clarify.
July 7, 2011 at 9:29 am #728710
acemotelParticipant????shed22 already clarified (#18)
July 7, 2011 at 2:10 pm #728711
JoBParticipanthalf the fun of some of the free wheeling conversations on the forum are the conversations within conversations…
where else do you get to listen in to someone else’s conversation and comment with impunity?
that is.. as long as you stick to the rules of conduct:)
The forum has what would seem to be a very useful feature… the ignore button.
you can ignore anyone at all..
the only problem is that when you ignore them you never see their posts…
making it difficult at times to follow the conversation when you don’t see the post that created it…
sub-conversations are like that…
if you don’t see them you can miss content that is critical to the growth of an argument.
Because of that.. i may choose not to reply to someone..
but i seldom choose to ignore them entirely.
